About Craig Janney

Craig Harlan Janney is an American former professional ice hockey center who played twelve seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL) from 1987–88 until 1998–99, when blood clots ended his career prematurely. In the 1992-93 season, Janney had 24 goals and a career-high 82 assists for a total of 106 points to become the fifth Blues player to record 100 points in a season. An arbitrator awarded the Canucks a second-round draft pick along with Janney. As such, the Canucks (who had demanded Brendan Shanahan in the first place) traded Janney back to the Blues for Jeff Brown, Bret Hedican and Nathan LaFayette. Janney was drafted in the first round, 13th overall by the Boston Bruins in the 1986 NHL entry draft, and also played in the 1987 World Ice Hockey Championships, 1991 Canada Cup and the 1994 World Ice Hockey Championships for Team USA.
